the end of the day I want to play my best. It may be good enough, it

may not. I would not enter if I did not think they could win. I work

and my game very hard. I have got to produce it on the day. I feel I

still have a lot left in me. I'm at the top of my game. I'm happy with

how things are going. There is very little that separates everybody in

the top 16. It is John Price against the 1996 champion. The

to add another there. He would take advantage of beforehand. A higher

percentage shot. He just loves the draw. The last bowl may have

obscured the jack. It is all about pace. I do not think he has got any.

When you're struggling a little bit you have to revert to the

percentage shots. I think it was a bad decision. Quite a big target on

the forehand side. His strength is a draw, but it is not working today.

This should be a fairly hefty count. I would expect him to put half a

metre on his last bowl. As he pushed through too much? This is

counting, it is definitely counting. It is in. It caught the green bowl.

have seen him struggle like this. We did his commentary against

Jonathan Ross. He got over his second set. He will not be happy

one close, David gets one closer. John always has the same action on

delivery, a fluent player. Just dropping short. He can play up to

his own bowl in fear of pushing his stuff, really. The quarterfinal of

the World Championship. What could we ask you to do this time? The

race so little available to John Price. -- there is so little

available. The trouble is, he has been forced into this shot. When

you were under pressure, the shots become harder. He has not been able

to relax and get in to a good rhythm. David Gourlay is very fast

down the rink. He has a little ritual, then of egos. Going wide

for a position. He is giving John a lot of respect by pushing it

through. Even that is back on the spot. Use within four inches of it.

If John hit this, he may lose the hard with this one. On the front of

Three days and bowls, one really good one. He needs to repeat that.

He knows he needs to be within six inches of the jacket to put him

objective was to get the shot. It also puts choices in his mind.

There is room to draw. There is always a runner available as well.

Sort of set up the target. Having said that, he is lying two shots.

Jack was only a few inches short of Colin Walker, a good line in. He

likes it in this area. That is a good starter, by both players.

he is looking at. Not an easy shot. But very doable. It is possible, if

you can just get to the green. just have to touch it and he will

be lying three or four shot. -- is just holding. Does not want the

back end of it. Perfect to wait for the job. So close. Use the bowl to

win it. Forehand drop. Score a single. That's all he needs. He

will be through to the semifinal. We know: Walker is a very good

player, good international player. He has been an outsider in this

event. But he has performed well. He is very close. Just needs to

you? Colin Walker needs a good win. He has played well. He is in.

to be second. A good one. That's I can see the green bowl. It just

have to be negotiated. He has to pull back hard. That is still a

hand the bowl. He has made a big effort. Robert Paxton has played

three very good bowls. He still holds the one. If Colin Walker does

dog get these bowl close, he will have a shot. A difficult one, but

he will still have a shot. He is trying to look into the through a

red bowls. Very good line. He is very close. Very close to what he

wants. He just wants a lot between the two bowls. That is a brilliant

change of hand. Looks to me like it is locked in. There is a shot but

he passed and moved the jack. He has to try to get this jack to this

area. Could be off the other side. I think it has to be a forehand

onto the green bowl. That is a tough shot. On that side as well.

do not think he has any choice. He has one bowl to stay in the

championship. What a time for: Walker. -- Colin Walker. One match

away from a place in the semifinal. That is a hard shot. But he is

close to the bowl. Just ran off it. He was God two shirts. But it is

not enough. -- he has got two shots. Very good sportsmanship. He knew

Walker was the better player on the day. What a time for Walker. He

wins the match and goes through it into the semifinal for a Scottish

whitewash at the World Championships.

With Colin Walker sealing a spot in the semifinals, it means all four

men are from Scotland. The matches will be at 2:30pm on BBC Two today.

The final of the Australian Open takes place at 8:25am this morning.
